Wonderful cruise! This was our first visit to Aruba. The cruise was easy to book and easy to find and board. Very smooth sailing which was great since I haven't been on a boat in years and was a little nervous about sea sickness. Staff was very friendly. A very relaxing trip and the sunset was beautiful.

Great cruise

Glenn_W, Mar 2026
Enjoyed this, even though it was very windy it was still a pleasant ride. Drinks were good, snacks were ok but of course you're not there for the food. Randy and the rest of the crew were great and you could tell they wanted everyone to have a great time! A wonderful way to see the sunset in Aruba. Recommended

Great trip

Sherry_P, Feb 2026
Kevin & Captain Ozzy were awesome. We first met them on the red Sail...so we had to follow them here and so glad we did. Had a blast as usual.

Good tour

Overall, the Viator...

Whitney_B, Oct 2025
Overall, the Viator sunset cruise in Aruba was absolutely worth the money. The open bar offered a great selection of drinks, the music set a fun and relaxed tone, and the overall vibe onboard was lively yet laid-back. The crew truly made the experience memorable, they were warm, welcoming, and personable, which added a genuine touch to the evening. The cruise itself was the perfect length, not too short, not too long, and watching the sunset from the water was stunning. The only downside was the check-in experience at De Palm Pier. On 10/6/25 and again on 10/7/25, I encountered staff members (specifically the Hispanic women working those days, mentioned only to help identify who was involved) who were dismissive, unwelcoming, and carried a noticeably negative attitude. Out of all the places I visited during my time in Aruba, this interaction stood out in the worst way. Their demeanor genuinely made me reconsider going through with the excursion. Thankfully, once onboard, the cruise itself, the crew redeemed the experience. I don’t believe those individuals reflect Viator as a whole, but it’s worth noting for future guests and management. If the check-in process matched the quality of the cruise, this would’ve been a flawless experience.

Amazing!!

Beautiful boat!! Drinks...

Aquita_E, Aug 2025
Beautiful boat!! Drinks and snack was perfect. I was shocked to see a few kids on board. Needs to be a longer excursion as well, give the drinks time to kick in.

We always enjoy the sunset cruises in Aruba, drinks and appetizers were good, the music was great, as was the host and the captain.

That sounds like the perfect way to wind down in Aruba, good vibes, tasty drinks, and a golden sunset on the water. Can’t beat it!

Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the cruise and found it well worth the money. It’s great that the crew and sights made the experience even better.

They don’t pack in too many people on the boat so there was plenty of room for everyone to see the sunset. The crew were great and the views were amazing!

Best sailboat cruises in Aruba

DOUGLAS_L, Jun 2024
Awesome adventure. The captain and crew made sure this was one of the best sailboat cruises on the island. After passing by other sailboat cruises, it was obvious we were the party boat. Bar service and food was excellent

Excellent service

Danielle_R, May 2024
Sunset cruise filled with excellent drinks and service! The crew was fabulous and attended to all of our needs. Beautiful sunset and great photos

Nice honeymoon experience!

Nikita_D, Apr 2024
My husband and I had a lovely time! The views were beautiful. There were lots of seating/standing options on the boat. Our favorite part was our guide Cesar- he had us laughing and dancing plus kept the drinks flowing! The crowd was largely older than us (we’re in our early 30s) and we got to meet people from all over. Having transportation was also a plus- we stayed farther south and they made arrangements to help accommodate us and make it worth our money. It was a lovely evening!

Awesome great crew

Paul_I, Apr 2024

Everything was on schedule. The crew did a great job. The food was good. However, there were people in our group who had way too much to drink.

Great
